Some reviews:
Estonian noise rock outfit Threes and Will and Austrian doom-mongers Deludium Skies serve up a bracing double-bill of psychic disorientation and bleak catharsis, wrapped in layers of distorted grot and reverberant heaviness. It came out a while back but, as a soundtrack for the subzero car-crash that we call everyday living, it’s still pretty fine, people.
Threes and Will’s saturated mess hits hard from the get-go. While initial exposure suggests some basement-dwelling harsh noise addict heading into oblivion, hungry ears will soon delve through the shortwave blare to find a hypnotic bass pushing freakoid guitar histrionics forward in sinister, leering propulsion. ‘Kraaipan’ is heady stuff, its downer guitar twangs and garbage-can splats coating its spiralling low-end in toxic mush. ‘Drowning In The Sinkhole’ sees atonal, wah-ing solos gulping round the room like Zappa after too much lentil stew and Merlot, as white-noise fuzz harmonics replace all remaining oxygen with grit and oil. Suck it and see, kids.
When Deludium Skies take up the baton, continuity is the order of the day, at least initially. Their opener ‘Quicksilver’ pairs minimal power chord jabs with sawtooth Duane Eddy riffs in claustrophobic excess. But even when they add drums and electronics, the oppressive mood remains. ‘Pavane’ plays a martial theme through plasticky synths and nails it to a massive echoey lurch, proper prog-rock fever-dream style. Even better is ‘The Seed Is Planted’, in which standard grind-and-stomp gets weirded out by fizzling voltage bursts, in a move that accurately recreates the sensation of checking our your favourite band while a construction team rewires the very same room they’re playing in. Optimum migraine, maximum sickness. - We Need No Swords
Together Threes and Will alongside Deludium Skies explore truly bizarre spaced-out terrain with their split “Kraaipan/From The Dirt Arose The Lesser King”. While both certainly enjoy noise and distortion to their fullest, Threes and Will go for a “oh dear lord” sort of wall of sound, as Deludium Skies picks a gentle path to travel down, always making plenty of room for hovering bouts of distorted haze. Hard to precisely pin down, the two enjoy certainly messing with listener expectations, refusing to follow clear linear paths.
“When The Raven Flies” begins things on Threes and Will’s side, allowing for great banging noise and brutal riffs driven deep into the ground. Allowing for a bit more space, “Kraaipan” goes for a droning mystical cycle, helping to imbue the track with a little approximation of rhythm. By far the highlight comes with the heroics of the chaotic “McMurdo Sound” where Threes and Will clearly takes the brown acid down a harrowing path. “Quicksilver” starts off Deludium Skies’ side, as it opts for a latter-day Earth sort of tact. Nearly silence defines the weird “Disembodied Wall”. A tribal beat comes into the mix on “Transfiguration”. A sweeping triumphant vibe defines “Pavane” while the song soars into the sky. Introspection closes the collection out with “Reprise” rumbling with a slight degree of threat.
On “Kraaipan/From The Dirt Arose The Lesser King” Threes and Will joins Deludium Skies in creating a unique realm, one that seemingly expands without any limits. -

As far as I can tell both of these musical projects are one-man operated noise bands, with Deludium Skies hailing from Austria and Threes And Will from Estonia. They both have various releases and here team for a split release. Threes And Will, described on Discogs as 'psych-drone/noise/drone-rock uses mainly guitar, I would think, topped with a whole bunch of stomp boxes, octavers, distortion, boosters and what have you. His five pieces span about thirty minutes, just like the six from Deludium Skies, and among his stomp boxes I think he also uses a looping device as that seems to be in play here and there, where the guitar is stuck down to a repeating phrase and on top of the sound effects provide the minimalist noisegasm of altering and adding frequencies, sometimes with the result of sounding like a right burnout of the six strings. A pleasant nightmare might be the result, at least for me it did have that effect.
Deludium Skies is something different. It is, for starters, a lot less noise based. There is besides guitar also drums being played, which Iassume are out of a box, and not from a real kit. It comes with quite a bit of reverb. The guitar is played in a slightly more conventional way here and reminded me, as far as I have knowledge of such things of course, of some demented, tortured blues music. As said, Deludium Skies is a lot less noise based, and offers more variation in his approaches to the six stringed instrument. Like said, blues seems to be an interest, but also drone treatments on the guitar such as in 'Disembodied Wail' and the introspective, tribal percussion feel of 'Transfiguration'. I was surprised that Xtelyon Records had the more accessible music at the end of the release and the noise at the beginning, but the two compliment each other pretty well. Nice one for sure. - Vital Weekly
